Counting down the hours...

After some chaos at the airport this morning...we made it to D.C.!
The lady at the ticket counter definitely needed more coffee or something.
There was some miscommunication on their part & our bags almost went straight to Uganda!
Luckily, they straightened everything out & our Nashville crew thankfully ended up with all 15 checked bags!
Want to see what that looks like?

Arrived at our hotel & our rooms still weren't ready yet so we stored our bags & went to get lunch.
I think all of us were definitely running on adrenaline & it just hit us all- we needed a nap after a big lunch.
After we checked in, most of the team decided to rest until dinner time.
We gathered in the hotel lobby for a team dinner! What a fun group of ladies!!
It is so great seeing all of the different personalities :)
I'm excited to see what God is up to with this group!
So far, we have 18 team members
We have 1 more team member arriving yet tonight, her flight was delayed. Praying she arrives safely!
Tomorrow, we meet up with 3 more team members to complete our team of 22!
So excited for this adventure to begin!
Boarding Ethiopian Airlines at 12:00 PM tomorrow- straight to Addis Ababa airport in Ethiopia!



That 5:30 AM alarm is going to come quick- so good night everyone!
Thanks for all of your prayers!
Next blog post will most likely come from Africa!

Blessings,
Brenda
